Macclesfield are still without a win, but they fought back to collect an unlikely point in a 1-1 draw with unbeaten Forest Green.
Still smarting from their 8-0 drubbing in their Carabao Cup match at West Ham in midweek, Macclesfield more than matched their visitors in a goalless first half.
Rovers goalkeeper Robert Sanchez remained largely untroubled, however, saving a Tyrone Marsh shot and seeing efforts from Koby Arthur and Nathan Blissett sail wide.
Meanwhile, Silkmen keeper Kieran O'Hara only had to watch wayward shots by Reece Brown and Joseph Mills find the crowd.
But all of the hosts' good work was undone less than two minutes into the second half, when substitute Dayle Grubb scored with his first touch, beating O'Hara with a well-struck free kick.
Bottom team Macclesfield hit back to level soon after, Danny Whitaker splitting the defence and Scott Wilson latching onto his pass before slotting home.
Both sides huffed and puffed late on but a point each was just reward for their efforts.
